Feel Good Friday – Charles Dickens Museum Tour
15 July @ 13:45 - 14:45 BST
SoA members are invited to join us for a tour of the Charles Dickens Museum – an exclusive opportunity to experience 48 Doughty Street as Dickens knew it.
Our guide will take you on an intimate tour of the Museum – a magical opportunity to explore this uniquely literary Victorian home, led by SoA member and distant relative of Dickens himself, Lucinda Hawksley.
